You said that you loved me,
You said that there was no one else,
Now I find that you have lied to me
If only to protect me from myself.

This is my heart,
Do you see it?
This is it here in my hand
It's been bruised and battered and
torn apart
But yet, I gave it to you
In the hope of a new start.

And what did you do?
Professed your love for me and my heart
Said that you couldn't live without us
But yet. . . but yet. . .

The dance is over, and now he's come back
To take his place as your partner
But I took you away, I sailed with you on
The dance floor,
Swept you away on a wind of music and melody

Yes, my love,
I took you to places that you had never seen
And will never see again
As he dances with you off into the sunset
Remember me and never forget
Never forget that our steps were in time
and that ours was indeed
A dance of love. . .

"Swept you away on a wind of music and melody."

That's one of the rotten things about love....when you soar like this..... To but finally stand alone and say : "You Said."
What a good description of this Dance.

Welcome Sven

Do you feel like you have known someone from the past?. Sven was my old user name, I don't know why, but I just thought of that name while I was logging on to a website.
By the way, I loved your poem so much, it was as if the memories I had with my ex came back to life, though it's really painful and all you know.

Jaguar,
being the being that I am. . . I feel that I know everyone and no one. . . perhaps my posting brought you back to your memories to say that it's finally time to let them go. . . to find a new partner and dance yet again.

Sven (thanks for the name!)

Thank you very much Starborads. . . I think that you will find that I reveal much, yet little about myself in my writings. . .
